DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLIANCES
In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation are provided instead of
grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should
a means for grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing a double-insulated appliance
requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be performed only by
qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated appliance must be
identical to the parts they replace. A double-insulated appliance is marked with the words
“Double Insulation” or “Double Insulated.” The symbol (square within a square) may also
be marked on the appliance.
DOUBLE-INSULATED: GROUNDING NOT REQUIRED. WHEN SERVICING, USE ONLY
IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
This leaf shredder is double-insulated, eliminating the need for a separate grounding
system. Use only identical replacements parts. Read the instructions for servicing double-
insulated leaf shredders before servicing. Use this leaf shredder only as described in this
manual.
Warning
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose to rain. Store
indoors.

not run the unit unattended.
CaUTiOn
To reduce the risk of injury from moving parts, unplug the unit before
cleaning or servicing.

or that a part is missing. If you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the parts
have been replaced or the fault has been rectified. Failure to do so could result in serious
personal injury.
